Single mum by choice

They say it takes a village to raise a child. But what if you want to go it alone? Becky Bell refers to herself as a single mum by choice, using a sperm donor to conceive her two beautiful children. Now, she's on a mission to break the stigma and educate others about the power and beauty of her unconventional path to motherhood.

At times, single parenthood may mean double the stress and double the worry. But doesn’t it also mean double the love? Join us as Becky shares all about being a single mum by choice.

LittleOak formula promises it’s quality and my twins have loved it. It has been so easy for their stomach, especially for one of my colicky babies. Thank you for a great quality product.

Top notch product for baby backed by a company with excellent customer service. At 7 months old now my baby boy is very satisfied after a bottle of LittleOak. Thank you.

LittleOak has been a lifesaver for our family, massively reduced our baby’s stomach issues and helped him sleep through the night. Highly recommend for parents seeking a gentle formula.

William has now been on LittleOak for 3 months and we have found it very gentle on his stomach, particularly with the transition. Also found it doesn’t smell yucky like other formulas.

It is important to transition slowly from breastfeeding to LittleOak or from a different brand of formula to LittleOak. Changing food source too quickly can cause discomfort for your baby's immature digestive system. Our qualified CareTeam are here to help, support and guide you through the best transition plan that suits you and your baby. If you need a helping hand, read LittleOak’s Transition Guide—created by healthcare professionals, for parents.

Every other formula in the world is made from heavily processed milk powders, but at LittleOak, we do things differently. We start with fresh whole goat milk and gently spray-dry it only once to preserve its natural goodness. We call this our From Fresh process.

Starting with pre-dried powder means the milk has already been heavily heat-treated before the formula-making process even begins. Why do brands do this? Because it's cheaper and easier.

Here’s how it works: fresh milk from cows, goats, or sheep is spray-dried—a process that uses extreme heat to remove all the water—before being turned into powder. This powder can sit in storage for years (sometimes up to five) before manufacturers buy it. They then reconstitute it with water, mix in oils and other ingredients, and spray-dry it all over again to create what’s called "base powder."

By this stage, the milk has been exposed to multiple rounds of very high heat, stripping away much of its natural goodness—vitamins, minerals, fats, and proteins. To make up for that loss, synthetic nutrients are added back in.

Every can we make starts with nearly three litres of fresh whole goat milk from our farm—not with pre-dried powders. We spray-dry it fresh, and only once, to lock in all the natural goodness of goat milk. It’s a bit like the difference between cold-pressed juice and reconstituted fruit drink. One keeps its essential nutrients intact through minimal processing, while the other loses them to high heat and industrial shortcuts.

In addition to being a major driver of deforestation, palm oil inhibits the absorption of calcium, fats and DHA in babies—all important nutrients for healthy growth and development.

While many formulas claim to be palm oil free, they may still contain palm oil derivatives and only audited, traceable certification can give real assurance. That’s why LittleOak is proud to be the first infant formula in the world to be certified 100% palm oil free by the Palm Oil Free Certification Accreditation Programme (POFCAP).
